In 2020, we fostered pain research in several important ways: partnering on research projects as a collaborator, co-author, and knowledge mobilizer; supporting recruitment efforts for pain-related research studies; and co-leading patient engagement initiatives.

Implementing research findings
- We previously engaged in researched that showed people with pain who experience marginalization need to be better reflected in Pain BC materials
- In 2020, we completed a photo project aimed at beginning to address this challenge
- Three advisory groups informed the project and evaluated outcomes
- Photos were taken of real people with pain from three priority communities
- Indigenous
- LGBTQ2S
- Newcomers & refugees
- Photos from this project will be used to update and improve our materials and resources in 2021
